This past week, I was blessed beyond measure to go to a middle school to speak to young dreamers about my first book--The Arrow Bringer. I spoke with grades 7 and 8 about how I became a writer, shared about famous failures, life lessons I hope they learn in The Arrow Bringer, and famous dreamers who help others. I did my best to inspire them. Little did I know how much they would inspire me.After the talk, I met with about 30-40 students who had won a copy of The Arrow Bringer from a raffle they had at school. I was amazed and humbled that anybody could be excited to meet me, let alone want to talk to me and ask questions. And I was floored by their questions, their zest for life, their intelligence, their great big hearts, their willingness to be themselves.And as I sat there answering questions, one question stuck out to me--"do you believe that magic can happen?" And I stopped and thought about it. And this is what I said.Life is full of magical moments. Sure, we're not waving wands, but there are moments--and for me this is one of them--where something so amazing and beautiful happens that it feels magical. And these are the moments we need to treasure, and hang onto when life gets challenging.So, what are these moments? They happen more than we think. And we all have them, even if we don't always see it. Those are the moments where life just stands still, and then takes our breath away. It's the moments where something so amazing, so beautiful, so wonderful happens, that we're taken out of our life for just a moment, and in that moment we are somewhere else. Another world. Another time. And that magical moment is forever emblazoned on our hearts. Those are the best moments of our lives.Take some time today to think about what those moments are for you. And be grateful for them. Thank God for them. Because those are the moments that we cling to when life gets difficult, when we feel like life is one dull moment after another. Those are the moments that remind us that life is an adventure. That life can be so much more than just the mundane, ordinary events of our lives.That life is beautiful. Life is an adventure. Life is magical.
